An Droichead Beag - An daingean

I recently visited this restaurant in Dingle and it was one of the best places I've ever been to.

Really crowded, good vibes, my first night out in a pub in Ireland. I was with locals there so it was great fun, we had a drink and enjoyed the place. The pub is really BIG with an outside part which is great!

We hiked from Annascaul to Dingle in the rain and this was the first pub that caught our eye. I needed a whiskey before heading any further into town to our lodging, and I wanted to dry out a bit. It as late afternoon and most people were sitting in another part of the bar watching the World Cup. We sat at the bar and enjoyed looking around the interesting interior. Lots of wood and stone. An old world feel. The first barman who served us wasn't all that friendly or chatty, but gave us our whiskey and went back to the other side. He may have been at the end of his shift, as shortly afterwards another bartender came to check on us. He was friendlier and visited with us a bit. It's a big place, with lots of nooks and crannies to sit with friends. They had barrel tables set up on the sidewalk for folks wishing to get some fresh air with their drinks.

Great stop. Real cool interior and a brewery as well. Had some tasty cask ales. Effen the local cat was quite friendly. Wish I could have stayed longer.

I had an amazing time at this restaurant. The drinks were delicious and the other patrons were lovely. The bartender was exceptional.
